final project – progress

Inspired by Loretta’s shoulder-pad suggestion, I spent part of Tuesday night ideating + picking up supplies for what is (hopefully) going to be a pair of badass chain shoulder pads with a built in battery that powers 2-3 LEDs.

Still working with my integrated-circuitry concept, I am going to use a braiding technique where fiber (in this case wire) is braided into metal chains. I found the following project online where she braids threads along the sides of chains to make bracelets and I wondered if the same technique could be used to braid two chains together (I’ll keep you posted on that one.)
